Charlie and Spike are two kittens with myotonia congenita, otherwise known as “fainting goat” syndrome. At the slightest sound, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats.

aaaaah!! poor little fings!
To create noise around these kittens is cruel . . . can no one notice how afraid they are!!!
I agree with you Candice. It’s actually a really sad little story.
What the hell is going on here? Are they acutally helping them up then giving them a fright so that they collapse?? Can they not see how cruel that is? What is wrong with society that someone could do something so inhuman and downright cruel just for the attention? Something is very very wrong with the world. This video brought me to tears not of laughter but of sadness and anger for the poor babies.
